She was Jeni Lynn Studer, 37, said Dr. Gary Goldfogel, Whatcom County medical examiner. Her last known residence was in the Everson area, he said.

Goldfogel ruled the woman’s death a suicide, saying Studer left notes detailing her intentions.

Studer died about 7:25 p.m. Monday as she sat on the tracks at Pine and Wharf streets, where the tracks cross the road near the south end of Cornwall Avenue, BNSF Railway and Bellingham Fire officials said. She ignored warning blasts from the locomotive’s horn.
